What Colors Do Golden Retrievers Come In?

Without a doubt you've heard the terms 'English Cream' or 'Red' to describe these gorgeous coats found on goldens. However, those are NOT recognized colors for the breed.

All golden retrievers are only considered to be one of three versions of GOLD according to AKC:

• Light Gold

• Gold

• Dark Gold

Our Beloved Goldens 

We carefully breed Golden Retrievers to showcase their wonderful temperament, health, and beauty.

• Predictable Sizes & Coats: Our adults typically weigh 60–90+ lbs. Curious about your pup’s adult coat color? Check their ears for hints!
